1. Confirmation bias: People tend to seek information that confirms their existing beliefs and stereotypes, while ignoring or discounting information that does not align with their beliefs. This bias leads individuals to selectively process and remember stereotype-reinforcing information.

2. Cognitive dissonance: When people encounter stereotype-inconsistent information, it creates a psychological discomfort. To reduce this discomfort, individuals may either reject the information, reinterpret it to fit their existing stereotypes, or avoid situations that challenge their beliefs.

3. Stereotype threat: When individuals are aware of negative stereotypes associated with their social group, they may feel pressured to conform to those stereotypes. This pressure can lead to performance anxiety and a self-fulfilling prophecy, where individuals end up behaving in ways that align with the stereotype, thus maintaining it.

To prevent prejudice, it is important to educate oneself about different cultures and beliefs, engage in open-minded conversations with people from diverse backgrounds, and challenge stereotypes and biases. Building empathy and showing respect towards others can also help reduce prejudice.

Some people view the rapid multiculturalism as detrimental to the national identity, and are concerned that New Zealand culture will somehow become diluted by the other cultures entering the country.

A lot of money goes toward aiding the assimilation (finding jobs, healthcare, education etc.) of internationals, with some people thinking this money would be better spent on existing citizens.

prejudice assumptions can be made about a certain group of people due to stereotyping, because some people may think that stereotyping is an accurate way to understand and/or meet the needs of particular groups of people.

this is based on the fact that if someone perceives somebody under a stereotype they feel to be accurate, then they will most likely change their behaviour towards them and it's very likely that behaviour will be riddled with prejudice.

Biases are dispositions against or toward someone or something whereas stereotypes represent one culture's or group's interpretation of another's expected appearance and behavior. At their most innocuous, a bias can be a preference for a certain color of clothes while a stereotype can be an understanding of another culture or group as being fast- or slow-moving or talking.

I don't know for sure but I think this is right. You can change it by showing that person these people and they would change there mind.

It's wrong to stereotype any group of people. Stereotyping perpetuates myths and ignorance. It also prohibits getting to really know people as individuals. For the American Indian, stereotyping can be hurtful (as in sports teams logos), it stops people from understanding that American Indians history, culture, beliefs, looks, living conditions, language etc. vary from tribe to tribe and even clan to clan. There IS no real standard for who the American Indian is.

Stereotypes are oversimplified opinions that do not account for individual differences.
